Cuomo of New Castle said the rail infrastructure requires renovation or it will cause significant transit problems in New York and New Jersey.

"I recently sent a video of the tunnels that fully explains the situation to President Trump," Cuomo said. "The video shows the decay inside the tunnel. I spoke to the President after he received the video and we have a tentative meeting scheduled for tomorrow with the President to continue to discuss the tunnel project."

"This is not a partisan issue but a practical government necessity," Cuomo said..

Funding for the Gateway Project has been a priority for New York and New Jersey lawmakers in recent years.

The Trump Administration blocked a move to include money for the tunnel project in an omnibus spending bill earlier this year, but clarified it does not oppose the project.
